The user's mobile terminal 20 associates the received shopping information with its own mobile terminal ID and transmits it to the parking lot management device 40. The store usage information acquisition unit 50 of the parking lot management device 40 generates store usage information 55 based on the received shopping information for each store 65 and stores it in the store usage DB.

The mobile terminal ID may be acquired by the store terminal 63, and shopping information or the like may be transmitted to the parking lot management device 40 by the store terminal 63. In addition, any method may be used as a method of associating the shopping information with the mobile terminal ID.

For example, a two-dimensional code including shopping information is printed on a shopping receipt that is output in response to the purchase of a product or the like. Shopping information may be input to the mobile terminal 20 by reading the two-dimensional code by the code reader function of the mobile terminal 20. Alternatively, if the member is a member of the store 65, the mobile terminal ID is registered as the member information. By presenting the membership card or the like distributed by the store 65 at the time of shopping, the store terminal 64 can link the shopping information with the mobile terminal ID.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of discount charge information stored in the discount DB. The discount charge information 56 includes the admission date and time, the usage time, the basic usage charge, the discount time, the discount charge, and the post-application charge. The basic usage fee is a usage fee that is charged according to the usage time and does not consider discounts. That is, the basic usage charge corresponds to the usage charge before the discount is applied.

The discount time is the time calculated based on the store usage information 55 and deducted from the usage time up to the current time. The discounted time can be said to be the non-charged time excluded from the billing target or the free parking time when the parking lot can be used free of charge. In the present embodiment, the discount time is calculated based on the total payment amount included in the store usage information 55. Typically, the higher the total payment amount, the longer the discount time. The specific method of calculating the discount time based on the payment amount is not limited.

The discount charge is a charge calculated based on the store usage information 55 and deducted from the basic usage amount before the discount is applied. In the present embodiment, the discount charge is calculated based on the total payment amount included in the store usage information 55. Typically, the higher the total payment amount, the higher the discounted rate. The specific method of calculating the discount rate based on the payment amount is not limited.

In the present embodiment, as a discount method for the usage fee of the parking lot 15, a method of charging the remaining usage time obtained by subtracting the discount time from the usage time and a method of subtracting the discount fee from the usage fee are used. For example, a discount method is appropriately set for each parking lot 15. Of course, it may be unified to either method.

The post-application charge is the usage charge after the discount is applied. When the discount time is used, the charge is made for the time obtained by subtracting the discount time from the usage time. Then, the calculated charge becomes the usage charge after the discount is applied. Of course, if the discount time is longer than the usage time, the usage fee after applying the discount will be 0 yen.

When a discounted charge is used, the charge obtained by subtracting the discounted charge from the basic usage charge will be the usage charge after the discount is applied. Of course, if the discounted charge is higher than the basic usage charge, the charge after applying the discount will be 0 yen.

The discount charge information 56 is appropriately updated according to the passage of usage time, an increase in the basic usage charge, an update of store usage information, and the like.

The first and second outlet loop coils 91 and 92 and the exit settlement machine 86 realize a detection device for detecting the vehicle 6 entering the entry lane 78.

Any other device or configuration may be adopted as the vehicle detection device for detecting the vehicle entering the entry lane 77 and the entry lane 78. For example, an optical sensor or the like using infrared rays or the like may be used as a vehicle detection device. Of course, the vehicle detection device may be controlled separately from the parking ticket issuing machine 84 and the exit settlement machine 86.

The parking lot management terminal 82 is mainly operated by a manager or the like of the parking lot 15, and operates each device of the premises 71 of the parking lot 15 and manages various data stored in the parking lot DB 83. .. Various data related to the parking lot 15 are stored in the parking lot DB 83, and an arbitrary DB such as an in-vehicle DB, a history DB, a contractor DB, or the like is constructed. Of course, the data stored in the DB 42 of the parking lot management device 40 shown in FIG. 1 may be shared.

The pre-payment machine 80, the parking ticket issuing machine 84, and the exit payment machine 86 are mainly used by general users who do not use the parking lot management service. For example, when a vehicle of a general user enters the entrance lane 77, the entry of the vehicle into the entrance lane 77 is detected based on the signal from the first entrance loop coil 89. The parking ticket issuing machine 84 prompts the issuance of a parking ticket by a display display, voice guidance, or the like, and issues a parking ticket when the issuing button is pressed.

When the parking ticket is pulled out by the user, the parking ticket issuing machine 84 opens the entrance gate device 85. When it is detected that the vehicle has passed over the second inlet loop coil 90, the inlet gate device 85 is closed. Then, the entrance processing information including the fact that the vehicle has entered is generated and transmitted to the parking lot management device 40 via the parking lot server 81. Vehicle presence information is stored in the vehicle presence DB for general users of the parking lot management device 40 and the vehicle presence DB of the parking lot.

When a general user's vehicle enters the entry lane 78, the entry of the vehicle into the entry lane 78 is detected based on the signal from the first exit loop coil 91. When the parking fee has already been settled using the pre-payment machine 80, the exit gate device 87 is opened by the exit settlement machine 86. If the parking fee has not been settled, the settlement is prompted by a display or the like, and when the settlement is completed by the exit settlement machine 86, the exit gate device 87 is opened.

When it is detected that the vehicle has passed over the second outlet loop coil 92, the exit gate device 87 is closed. Then, the participation information indicating that the vehicle has participated is generated and transmitted to the parking lot management device 40 via the parking lot server 81. Participation information is stored in the history DB of the parking lot management device 40 and the parking lot 15, and the vehicle presence information is deleted from the vehicle presence DB.

The first and second entrance beacon devices EB1 and EB2, and the first and second exit beacon devices OB1 and OB2 are used to manage the entry and exit of the vehicle of the user who is a member of the parking lot management service. It will be used. The details will be described below.

The second exit beacon device OB2 is arranged on the right side of the central island 74 in front of the entrance 78a of the entry lane 78. Therefore, the second exit beacon device OB2 is arranged so that the entry lane 78 is sandwiched between the second exit beacon device OB2 and the first exit beacon device OB1.

The first and second exit beacon devices OB1 and OB2 are arranged at positions substantially equal to the tip of the first loop coil 91 on the premises 71 side along a direction substantially orthogonal to the approach direction of the vehicle in the entry lane 78. NS. This makes it possible to detect the entry of the vehicle into the entry lane 78 with high accuracy.

From the first exit beacon device OB1, a first exit beacon signal conforming to the BLE standard including the beacon ID is transmitted. From the second exit beacon device OB2, a second exit beacon signal L2 conforming to the BLE standard including the beacon ID is transmitted.

As shown in FIG. 10, the configurations of the entry lane 77 and the entry lane 78 are substantially the same as each other except that the approach directions of the vehicles are opposite to each other. Further, the second inlet beacon device EB2 and the second exit beacon device OB2 are arranged linearly along the direction parallel to the approach direction on the central island 74.

This makes it possible to configure the entry lane 77 and the entry lane 78 so as to be symmetrical with respect to the central point of the central island 74. This makes it possible to simplify the design of the arrangement of each device, the wiring of the premises LAN, the wiring to the loop coil and the beacon device, and the like, and it is also possible to suppress the construction cost of the parking lot 15.

In the beacon DB shown in FIG. 7, four beacon information 54 relating to the first and second inlet beacon devices EB1 and EB2 and the first and second exit beacon devices OB1 and OB2 are stored. In the lane No., each lane No. of the entrance lane 77 and the entry lane 78 is stored. The installation position stores island information, right / left information as seen from the approach direction, and the like.

The first and second entrance beacon devices EB1 and EB2 correspond to the first and second transmission devices for the entrance lane 77. Further, the first and second inlet beacon signals L1 and L2 correspond to the first and second signals. Further, the first and second exit beacon devices OB1 and OB2 correspond to the first and second transmission devices for the entry lane 78. The first and second exit beacon signals correspond to the first and second signals. Further, the first and second signals can also be said to be the first and second search signals.

[Admission / entry processing flow]
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of an entrance processing flow for a vehicle of a user who is a member of the parking lot management service.

The parking ticket issuing machine 84 connected to the first entrance loop coil 89 monitors the entry of the vehicle into the entrance lane 77 (step 101). When the entry of the vehicle into the entrance lane 77 is detected (YES in step 101), the first and second entrance beacon devices EB1 and EB2 transmit the first and second entrance beacon signals L1 and L2. (Step 102).

The first and second beacon signals L1 and L2 are received by the user's mobile terminal 20, and reception status information including each beacon ID, each signal strength, and each reception time is generated (step 103). .. The mobile terminal 20 generates an admission request including the mobile terminal ID and transmits it to the parking lot management device 40 together with the reception status information (step 104).

The parking lot management device 40 receives the admission request transmitted from the mobile terminal 20, and analyzes the reception status of the first and second entrance beacon signals EB1 and EB2 based on the reception status information (steps 105 and 106). ). As a result of the analysis, it is determined whether or not the reception states of the first and second inlet beacon signals EB1 and EB2 satisfy the predetermined conditions (step 107). If the reception status does not match the conditions, the process ends (NO to END in step 107). If the reception state matches the conditions, the admission permission is transmitted to the parking lot server 81 of the parking lot 15 (YES in step 107 to step 108). The transmitted admission permission is received by the parking ticket issuing machine 84 via the parking lot server 81 (step 109).

FIG. 12 is a schematic graph for explaining an example of a method of determining admission permission based on the reception state of the beacon signal. FIG. 13 is a schematic view showing an example of the reception state of the first and second entrance beacon signals L1 and L2 by the mobile terminal 20 held by the user in the vehicle 5.

As shown in FIG. 12, at the timing T1 when the vehicle detection by the parking ticket issuing machine 84 is turned on, the first and second entrance beacon signals L1 and L2 are used by the first and second entrance beacon devices EB1 and EB2. Is started to be transmitted. Each time the mobile terminal 20 receives the first and second entrance beacon signals L1 and L2, the mobile terminal 20 transmits reception status information including the respective signal strengths together with an admission request.

As shown in FIG. 13, the distance between the mobile terminal 20a held by the user on the vehicle 5a entering the entrance lane 77 and the first and second entrance beacon devices EB1 and EB2 is sufficiently close. Become. Therefore, the signal strengths of the first and second inlet beacon signals L1 and L2 received by the mobile terminal 20a are sufficiently high.

In the present embodiment, as a condition for determining admission, the time difference between the ON timing T1 of vehicle detection and the timing T2 in which any of the signal strengths of the first and second entrance beacon signals L1 and L2 exceeds the threshold value th. Is shorter than a predetermined threshold value (time). When the time difference between the timings T1 and T2 is shorter than a predetermined threshold value (time), it is said that the admission request is transmitted from the mobile terminal 20a held by the user on the vehicle 5a that has entered the admission lane 77. It is judged. Then, admission to the parking ticket issuing machine 84 is determined.

In FIG. 13, the vehicles 5a of other users who are members are lined up behind. It is possible that the first and second entrance beacon signals may be received by the mobile terminal 20b held by the user who got on the following vehicle 5b (the first and second entrance beacon signals L1 by changing the reference numerals). 'And L2'). Therefore, the entrance request may be transmitted from the mobile terminal 20b to the parking lot management device 40.

However, the distance from the first and second entrance beacon devices EB1 and EB2 to the mobile terminal 20b is long. Therefore, the timing at which any of the first and second inlet beacon signals L1'and L2'exceeds the predetermined threshold value th is delayed. Thereby, by appropriately setting the threshold value th shown in FIG. 12, it is possible to sufficiently prevent the admission request transmitted from the mobile terminal 20b of the following vehicle 5b from being erroneously permitted. That is, it is possible to sufficiently prevent the following vehicle 5b from being erroneously determined as a vehicle that has entered the entrance lane 77.

Further, in the present embodiment, the first and second entrance beacon devices EB1 and EB2 are arranged on both the left and right sides so as to sandwich the entrance lane 77 in between. As a result, regardless of the position in the vehicle 5 where the mobile terminal 20 is arranged, it is possible to accurately distinguish between the vehicle 5a entering the entrance lane 77 and the following vehicle 5b.

For example, the mobile terminal 20a is arranged in the rear seat of the vehicle 5a that has entered the entrance lane 77, and the mobile terminal 20b is arranged in the driver's seat of the following vehicle 5b. Even in such a case, it is possible to identify the vehicle 5 entering the entrance lane 77 with sufficient accuracy based on the intensities of the first and second entrance beacon signals L1 and L2 transmitted from the left and right.

Returning to FIG. 11, the parking ticket issuing machine 84 monitors whether or not the admission permission has been received and whether or not the parking ticket issuing button has been pressed (step 110). In the example shown in FIG. 11, since the admission permission has been received in step 109, the process proceeds to step 112 and the entrance gate device 85 is opened. If the issue button is pressed before the admission is received, the parking ticket is issued and the entrance gate device 85 from which the parking ticket has been removed is opened (steps 111 and 112).

When it is detected that the vehicle has passed over the second entrance loop coil 90, the entrance gate device 85 is closed and entrance processing information including the fact that the vehicle has entered is generated (steps 113 and 114). The generated entrance processing information is transmitted to the parking lot management device 40, and the vehicle presence information 53 is stored in the vehicle presence DB for the member user (steps 115 and 116).

Further, the parking lot management device 40 generates admission information including the fact that the user's vehicle has entered, and sends it to the user's mobile terminal 20 by push notification (steps 117 and 118). The mobile terminal 20 displays the received admission information on the display unit 25, and the process ends (step 119).

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of a participation processing flow for a vehicle of a user who is a member of the parking lot management service. The processing from step 201 to step 206 is the same as the admission processing flow. That is, the same processing is executed based on the first and second exit beacon signals transmitted from the first and second exit beacon devices OB1 and OB2.

In step 207, when the reception states of the first and second exit beacon signals meet the predetermined conditions, the settlement status of the in-vehicle DB is referred to (step 208). If the settlement status is a status that does not require settlement and there is no stay on the premises for more than the set time (5 minutes in this example) from the settlement time and the current time, YES is set in step 209 and the participation permission is transmitted (step 210). ).

When the entry request is received by the exit settlement machine 86, the exit gate device 87 is operated, and the entry processing information including the settlement details and the entry time is transmitted according to the passage of the vehicle (steps 211 to 216). If the settlement operation is executed for the exit settlement machine 86 before the entry permission is received, the exit gate device 87 is controlled and the exit processing information is transmitted after the settlement is completed.

The parking lot management device 40 deletes the vehicle presence information in the vehicle presence DB based on the participation processing information (steps 217 and 218). Then, the participation information including the settlement contents and the participation date and time is generated and transmitted to the mobile terminal 20 (step 219). Exit information is appropriately displayed on the display unit 25 of the mobile terminal 20 (steps 220 and 221).

The status that does not require payment includes credit card payment at all times. In this case, the participation permission is transmitted regardless of the staying time of the premises 71.

15 and 16 are schematic views showing an example of an operation screen (GUI) displayed on the mobile terminal 20 of the user who has entered the vehicle. Various information about the user included in the operation screens shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 is included in the admission information. That is, the admission information includes various information generated in response to the admission of the vehicle.

As shown in FIG. 15A, the push notification screen 101 is first displayed on the mobile terminal 20. In this parking lot management service, it is recommended to settle in advance before entering the parking lot 15. Therefore, the push notification screen 101 displays an application start button 102 for executing the settlement process.

When the application is started via the push notification screen 101, the current status display screen 103 is displayed as shown in FIG. 15B. On the current status display screen 103, parking status information 104 including the entrance time, information 105 regarding the parking fee up to now, parking lot and vehicle information 106, settlement operation button 107, usage information button 108, and setting button are displayed. 109 and the usage history button 110 are displayed.

When the usage information button 108 is selected, the details of the usage information are displayed, which will be described later. The setting button 109 is selected when changing user information or the like, and transitions to a predetermined setting screen. When the usage history button 110 is selected, the usage history of the parking lot management service up to the present is displayed.

When the settlement operation button 107 on the current status display screen 103 is selected, the settlement operation initial screen 111 is displayed as shown in FIG. 16A. On the settlement operation initial screen 111, the settlement button 112, the information 113 regarding the parking fee to be settled, the usage information button 114, and the point balance information 115 are displayed. When the usage information button 114 is selected, the details of the usage information are displayed, which will be described later.

When the settlement button 112 on the settlement operation initial screen 111 is selected, the settlement operation confirmation screen 116 is displayed as shown in FIG. 16B. The settlement operation confirmation screen 116 displays the settlement information 117 including the parking fee, the admission time, the vehicle information, etc. to be settled, the radio button 118 for selecting the payment method, the credit card information 119, and other cards. The switching button 120 and the settlement execution button 121 are displayed.

When the desired payment method is changed, the radio button 118 is selected, and when the settlement execution button 121 is selected, the settlement request is transmitted to the parking lot management device 40. Then, when the settlement process is completed, that fact is returned to the mobile terminal 20, and the settlement completion screen 122 shown in FIG. 16C is displayed.

Information 123 of the settlement contents is displayed on the settlement completion screen 122. In addition, text information indicating that the vehicle should participate is displayed within a predetermined time (5 minutes in this example). If you are registered to always perform credit card payment, the payment method will be fixed to card payment.

When it is registered to always execute credit settlement, that fact may be displayed on, for example, the push notification screen 101 shown in FIG. 15A or the current status display screen 103 shown in FIG. 15B. Then, the procedure may proceed to the settlement completion screen 122 shown in FIG. 16C without prompting the settlement operation.

[Usage information image]
FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a basic operation of generating a usage information image. The parking lot usage information is acquired by the vehicle presence management unit 43 that functions as the first acquisition unit (step 301). The store usage information is acquired by the store usage information acquisition unit 50 that functions as the second acquisition unit (step 302). The usage information image generation unit 51 generates a usage information image (step 303). The generated usage information image is output to the user's mobile terminal 20.

18 to 20 are schematic views showing an example of the usage information screen 145. The usage information screen 145 is a screen on which the usage information image 150 is displayed. For example, the user selects the usage information button 108 on the current status display screen 103 or the usage information button 114 on the settlement operation initial screen 111. The usage information requesting unit 36 requests the parking lot management device 40 to output the usage information image 150. The parking lot management device 40 generates a usage information image 150 in response to the request and transmits it to the mobile terminal 20. As a result, the usage information screen 145 on which the usage information image 150 is displayed is configured.

The usage information image 150 includes parking lot usage information 151, discount information 152 for the usage fee of the parking lot 15 based on the store usage information 55, and the post-application charge at the current time calculated based on the usage time and the discount information. including.

In the usage information image 150a shown in FIG. 18A, the parking time (corresponding to the usage time) is displayed as the parking lot usage information 151. The discount time is displayed as the discount information 152. Since the discount time is longer than the parking time, the charge after application is 0 yen. By displaying the parking time and the discount time in this way, it is possible to easily compare these pieces of information. This makes it possible to easily determine that the vehicle can be parked for free for a few minutes, which improves the convenience of the user.

Further, in the usage information image 150a, the shopping amount (corresponding to the total payment amount) and the shopping status details (corresponding to the purchase details) are displayed as the store usage information 55. Further, in the usage information image 150a, the discount information graph 154 is displayed.

The discount information graph 154 is a graph that displays the store usage information 55 and the discount information 152 in a comparable manner. In the discount information graph 154a of the usage information image 150a, the shopping amount and the discount time are displayed in a comparable manner. This allows the user to easily determine whether or not to make additional purchases, and how much more the discount time will increase. As a result, the convenience of the user can be improved.

For example, in the example shown in FIG. 18A, if you shop for another 2000 yen, the discount time will be 3 hours, and then you can park for free for another 1 hour and 15 minutes. Or, I have no intention of shopping for another 2000 yen, so let's get the vehicle out within 15 minutes. It is possible to facilitate such a judgment.

In the usage information image 150b shown in FIG. 18B, the parking time is displayed in the discount information graph 154b. As a result, the parking time and the discount time are displayed in a comparable manner. The discount information graph 154b also functions as a time comparison graph that displays the usage time up to the current time and the discount time deducted from the usage time up to the current time in a comparable manner. Further, in the discount information graph 154b, it is possible to grasp that the applied charge (300 yen) is the charge corresponding to the difference between the parking time and the discount time. That is, the post-application fee (300 yen) is the normal fee for parking time (2 hours and 45 minutes) minus the discount fee according to the shopping amount (5500 yen) (in this case, the shopping amount equal discount fee). You can visually understand what happened due to.

By viewing the discount information graph 154b shown in FIG. 18B, it is possible to grasp the shopping amount, the parking time, and the post-application fee in a very easy-to-understand manner. Also, if you shop for 2000 yen within 15 minutes, the discount time will be 3 hours and the parking fee of 300 yen will be free, and you can easily and quickly judge that it is just right because you have what you want. .. As a result, the convenience of the user can be improved.

In the usage information image 150c shown in FIG. 19A, the remaining time until the charge increases after application is displayed in the discount information graph 154c. In the example shown in FIG. 19A, it is possible to grasp that the remaining time until the charge is no longer free after application is the time corresponding to the difference between the parking time and the discount time. By counting down the time difference until the parking fee is increased in this way, the user can easily grasp the timing when the parking fee is increased. As a result, the convenience of the user can be improved.

In place of or in addition to the remaining time, a future time when the post-application fee will increase may be displayed. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 19A, "15:47", which is the time when the charge will not be free after application, may be displayed. Even in this case, it is possible to easily grasp the timing of the increase in the parking fee. The position where the remaining time, the time for increasing the amount, etc. is displayed is not limited to the discount information graph 154c, and may be displayed at any other position.

If the time until the time when the post-application charge increases, that is, the remaining time until the post-application charge increases becomes shorter than the predetermined time (threshold value), even if the user is notified by an alert notification or the like. good. As a result, it becomes possible to accurately grasp the timing of the increase in the parking fee, and high convenience is demonstrated. The method of notifying the remaining time and the like is not limited, and any function such as a voice output function, a screen display function, and a vibration function may be used.

Such a countdown function may be executed when an additional charge is incurred after the pre-payment. For example, a future time in which a predetermined time (5 minutes in this example) elapses after the pre-payment is completed until an additional charge is incurred, or the remaining time until the predetermined time elapses may be displayed. Further, when the time until the time when the additional charge is generated, that is, the remaining time until the additional charge is generated becomes shorter than the predetermined time, that fact may be notified. As a result, it becomes possible to easily grasp the timing at which an additional charge is incurred, and high convenience is demonstrated.

The usage information image D shown in FIG. 19B is a diagram showing another configuration example of the discount information graph (time comparison graph) 154. The content shown by the discount information graph 154d shown in FIG. 19B is the same as that shown in the discount information graph 154c shown in FIG. 19A. As shown in FIGS. 18A and B and 19A, a form such as a bar graph may be adopted, or a form such as a pie chart may be adopted as shown in FIG. 19B. In addition, the form of the discount information graph (time comparison graph) 154 is not limited, and any form may be used.

In the usage information images 150e and 150f shown in FIGS. 20A and 20B, the discount charge is displayed as the discount information 152. The parking time is displayed as the parking lot usage information 151. As the store usage information 55, the shopping amount and the shopping status details are displayed. Further, in the usage information images 150e and 150f, the post-application charge at the current time and the discount application graph 156 are displayed.

The discount application graph 156 displays the basic usage charge (the usage charge before the discount is applied) and the discount charge in a comparable manner. In the example shown in FIGS. 20A and 20B, a bar graph 157 of the parking time is displayed for the scale in which the parking fee and the parking time are associated with each other. The parking fee corresponding to the parking time shown in the bar graph 157 is the basic usage fee at the current time. Further, the bar graph 158 of the post-application charge and the bar graph 159 of the discount charge are stacked and displayed so as to be adjacent to the bar graph 157 of the parking time. As a result, the basic usage charge and the discounted charge are displayed in a comparable manner.

In the discount application graph 156a shown in FIG. 20A, the basic usage charge (1100 yen) can be easily grasped by adding the post-application charge (300 yen) and the discount charge (800 yen). Of course, the amount of the basic usage fee may be displayed directly.

By viewing the discount application graphs 156a and 156b, it is possible to easily grasp the calculation standard of the parking fee for the parking time. In addition, it is possible to easily compare the discount status with the actual parking fee burden status. As a result, the convenience of the user can be improved.

As shown in FIG. 20B, when the discount charge is larger than the parking charge, the discount charge bar graph (1300 yen) 159 is higher than the parking time bar graph 157. The bar graph 159 of the discount rate is displayed separately for the discount appropriation amount and the discount surplus amount. The discount allocation amount is the amount (1100 yen) appropriated for the basic usage charge at the current time, and is the same height as the bar graph 157 of the parking time. The discount surplus amount is the amount obtained by subtracting the discount appropriation amount from the discount rate, and is the surplus amount (200 yen) as the discountable amount. The discount surplus amount is a portion protruding upward from the bar graph 157 of the parking time.

By viewing the discount application graph 156b, it is possible to easily grasp the surplus discount amount. In addition, it is possible to easily grasp the parking time (3 hours and 15 minutes added by 30 minutes) by allocating the surplus discount amount. As a result, the convenience of the user can be improved. Of course, the parking time and the like that can be parked may be directly displayed.

Further, in the usage information image 150f shown in FIG. 20B, the discount allocation amount (1100 yen) is displayed in the discount charge column. This makes it possible to easily grasp the amount currently allocated in the discounted charge. Of course, the discount charge (1300 yen), which is the discount information 152, may be displayed as it is in the discount charge column.

As the display format of the discount application graph 156, the display by the bar graph 157 of the parking time and the display by the bar graph of the basic usage charge may be appropriately switched. That is, the basic usage fee at the current time may be described in the bar graph 157 of the parking time shown in FIGS. 20A and 20B. This makes it possible to switch between the comparison based on the parking fee and the comparison based on the parking time as appropriate, which is highly convenient.

As described above, in the parking management system 500 according to the present embodiment, the usage information image 150 shown in FIGS. 18 to 20 is displayed on the user's mobile terminal 20. As a result, it becomes possible to easily grasp the usage status, discount status, etc. of the parking lot 15, and it is possible to improve the convenience of the user.

By operating the mobile terminal 20, the user can check the usage fee, discount fee, discount time, etc. at any time from inside and outside the parking lot 15 and inside and outside the commercial facility where affiliated stores 65 and the like gather. Become. Further, since the latest information can be obtained at the timing when the user wants to confirm, the troublesome processing such as receiving an e-mail for each shopping at the store 65 becomes unnecessary.

By using this technology, it is possible to smoothly enter and exit the parking lot 15 using the mobile terminal 20 owned by the user without the need for an admission ticket or a discount ticket, and at a store 65 or the like affiliated with the parking lot 15. The discount service and the like are automatically granted, and the status of the discount service granted can be confirmed as appropriate, making it possible to realize the parking lot management system 500 having excellent user convenience.

In addition, since the usage fee of the parking lot 15 is discounted according to the amount of shopping at the commercial facility, etc., the user's willingness to purchase is increased, and the profit of the commercial facility, etc. is improved. This will lead to relaxation of usage fees and discount conditions for parking lot 15, renewal of parking lot facilities, etc., further improving user convenience.

<Second embodiment>
The parking lot management system according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following description, the description of the parts similar to the configuration and operation in the parking lot management system 500 described in the above embodiment will be omitted or simplified.

In the parking lot management system according to the present embodiment, it is possible for a group composed mainly of the users of the parking lot 15 to receive a discount service for the usage fee collectively. For example, a driver who drives a vehicle is a user of the parking lot 15, and a group is formed by the driver and a passenger in the vehicle. When the driver makes a purchase at the store 65 affiliated with the parking lot 15, a discount time and a discount fee are given according to the amount paid. In the present embodiment, even when the passenger makes a purchase or the like at the store 65, the discount time and the discount charge are given according to the payment amount. That is, discount times and discount charges are given according to the usage status of the store by the entire group.

FIG. 21 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration example of the parking lot management device 240 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 22 is a diagram showing an example of group information stored in the group DB.

The parking lot management device 240 has a group registration unit 201 as a new functional block. The group registration unit 201 executes registration of a group including the user for one use by the user of the parking lot 15. Then, the group information associated with the mobile terminal ID of the user's mobile terminal 220 is generated and stored in the group DB.

As shown in FIG. 22, the group information 202 includes the mobile terminal ID of the user's mobile terminal 220 and the mobile terminal of the mobile terminal of another user (hereinafter referred to as a group member) constituting the user and the group. Includes ID. In the present embodiment, a user who is not a member of the parking lot management system can also be a group member. Therefore, the mobile terminal ID of the group member included in the group information 202 is the ID information for group registration. The ID information for group registration is given to each mobile terminal of the group member based on the group registration operation by the user and the group member.

Of course, a member of the parking lot management system can form a group with other members. In this case, as the mobile terminal ID of the member who becomes a group member, the mobile terminal ID given when the member registers as a member may be used.

FIG. 23 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration example of the mobile terminal 220 according to the present embodiment. The mobile terminal 220 has a group registration request unit 203 as a new functional block. The group registration request unit 203 executes various processes according to the group registration operation by the user and the group member.

FIG. 24 is a schematic diagram showing an example of an operation screen displayed when the group registration operation is executed. First, in order to execute the group registration operation, the application related to this technology is installed on each mobile terminal (normally installed if it is a member).

The user and the group member select the two-dimensional code button 205 from the setting screen 204 shown in FIG. 24A. Then, the code reader screen 206 shown in FIG. 24B is displayed. By selecting another button on the setting screen 204 shown in FIG. 24A, various operations such as member setting, point information confirmation, credit information confirmation, various screen displays, and group setting can be performed.

The group member displays the two-dimensional code associated with his / her mobile terminal by selecting the code display button 207 in the code reader screen 206. The two-dimensional code includes a unique mobile terminal ID for group registration. The user moves the two-dimensional code displayed on the mobile terminal of the group member into the reading area 208 of the code reader screen 206 to read it. When the reading is normally executed, the group registration request unit 203 of the user's mobile terminal 220 transmits a group registration request including the read mobile terminal ID of the group member to the parking lot management device 240.

The group registration unit 201 of the parking lot management device 240 generates group information 202 including the user's mobile terminal ID and the received group member's mobile terminal ID in response to the received group registration request. When the user's mobile terminal 220 newly reads the two-dimensional code of another group member, the group member's mobile terminal ID is added to the same group information 202.

A two-dimensional code including the user's mobile terminal ID may be displayed on the user's mobile terminal 220. Then, the mobile terminal ID of the user may be acquired by the mobile terminal of the group member, and the group registration request may be transmitted to the parking lot management device 240. In addition, any method may be used as the group registration method.

FIG. 25 is a schematic diagram for explaining another method of group registration. For example, it is assumed that the group members constituting the group are members of this parking lot management system. As shown in FIG. 25, when a group member who is a member is riding in the same vehicle 5, an entrance request and reception status information are transmitted from the mobile terminal 210 of the group member to the parking lot management device 240.

The permission determination unit 47 of the parking lot management device 240 determines whether or not to permit the entry request and the entry request based on the analysis result of the reception status information. Since the group members are on the same vehicle 5, the signal intensities of the first and second inlet beacon signals EB1 and EB2 satisfy predetermined conditions in the mobile terminals 220 and 210. Therefore, the determination result of the permission determination unit 47 is affirmative for both the user's mobile terminal 220 and the group member's mobile terminal 210. Utilizing this situation, these plurality of mobile terminals 220 and 210 whose determination results are affirmative at substantially the same timing are automatically registered as the same group. Further, whether or not the behaviors of the acceleration sensors 32 in the mobile terminals 220 and 210 of the group members are similar may be added to the determination logic.

That is, when the result of the determination by the permission determination unit 47 for the user's mobile terminal 220 is affirmative, the result of the determination by the permission determination unit 47 is affirmative at substantially the same timing, which is different from the user's mobile terminal 220. It is assumed that there is a mobile terminal of. In this case, the other mobile terminal is registered as the mobile terminal 210 of the group member forming the group with the user, and the group information 202 is generated. This eliminates the need for group registration operations such as reading a two-dimensional code, and is extremely convenient. That is, the object for which the usage fee of the parking lot 15 is discounted according to the shopping amount at the commercial facility or the like is automatically linked when entering the parking lot 15, so that the convenience of the user is improved.

For example, an operation screen for designating which mobile terminal is the user's mobile terminal 210 is transmitted by push notification or the like to each of the plurality of mobile terminals whose determination result by the permission determination unit 47 is affirmative. Will be done. Group information 202 is generated in response to the designated operation via the operation screen. That is, the group information 202 associated with the mobile terminal ID of the designated mobile terminal is generated.

Further, as a member of this parking lot management system, it may be possible to register as a member without associating it with a vehicle number or the like. For example, in the member registration of a family member or the like, the user who drives the vehicle is registered as a member of the parent associated with the vehicle number or the like, and the passenger is registered as a member of the child whose vehicle number or the like is not associated. In such a case, when there are a plurality of mobile terminals whose determination result by the permission determination unit 47 is affirmative, the mobile terminal ID of the parent member associated with the vehicle number or the like is set as the user's mobile terminal 220. Group information 202 is automatically generated.

Further, a group to which the discount service is collectively applied may be provisionally formed by a plurality of mobile terminals whose determination result by the permission determination unit 47 is affirmative. Then, a confirmation screen for confirming whether or not the group is acceptable is transmitted to each mobile terminal by push notification or the like. When the group is appropriate via the confirmation screen, the group information 202 is generated and confirmed in the group DB. This makes it possible to form a group normally.

FIG. 26 is a diagram showing an example of group usage information stored in the group store usage DB. When a group is formed, the group usage information 211 shown in FIG. 26 is generated. The group usage information 211 corresponds to store usage information including the store status of each of the user and the group members constituting the group. That is, in the group usage information, all of the stores, purchase details, and payment amounts used by the user and the group members are collectively stored. The group usage information 211 is acquired by the store usage information acquisition unit 50.

For example, a two-dimensional code (or one-dimensional bar code) including shopping information is printed on a shopping receipt that is output in response to the purchase of a product or the like. The two-dimensional code is read by the code reader function (code reader screen 206) of the mobile terminals 220 and 210 of the user and the group member, and shopping information is input to the mobile terminals 220 and 210.

The mobile terminals 220 and 210 of the user and the group members transmit the read shopping information together with their own mobile terminal ID to the parking lot management device 240. As a result, the group usage information 211 is generated. In addition, short-range wireless communication may be executed by each of the mobile terminals 220 and 210 of the user and the group member and the reader / writer 64 arranged in the store 65, and shopping information and the like of the entire group may be collected.

The usage information image generation unit 51 applies the group discount at the current time calculated based on the parking lot usage information, the group discount information for the parking lot usage fee based on the group usage information, and the usage time and the group discount information. Generate a usage information image including the later usage fee.

For example, the discount rate and the discount time are calculated by summing the payment amounts of the user and the group member. Then, the usage information image 150 as illustrated in FIGS. 18 to 20 is generated and output to the mobile terminals 220 and 210 of the user and the group member, respectively.

When a group is formed, the discount information 152 described above becomes the group discount information as it is. The above-mentioned post-application charges are the usage charges after the group discount is applied. In the usage information image 150, it may be displayed that the usage information is related to the group. By viewing the usage information image 150, each of the user and the group member can easily grasp the usage status, discount status, etc. of the parking lot 15, which is highly convenient.

When a group is formed, the parking fee can be settled on either the user or the group member's mobile terminals 220 and 210. For example, any user or group member can execute the settlement operation by operating the operation screens illustrated in FIGS. 15 and 16.

That is, the settlement reception unit 49 of the parking lot management device 240 can execute the settlement of the usage fee in response to the settlement request transmitted from the user's mobile terminal 220 or the group member's mobile terminal 210. This makes it possible to freely determine the person to be settled, and for example, by making a payment from the mobile terminal of a person registered for credit payment, cashless payment can be easily performed. Of course, whether or not the settlement operation can be performed may be set for each mobile terminal, or only the parent mobile terminal (user's mobile terminal 220) may be set so that the settlement can be performed. Further, the mobile terminal that executes the settlement may be fixed.

When a group is formed, the divided usage fee obtained by dividing the usage fee to be settled for each of the user and the group member may be transmitted to the respective mobile terminals 220 and 210. Then, when the settlement operation for the divided usage fee is executed by each of the user and the group member, the settlement of the usage fee may be completed. In this case, the parking lot management device 240 executes the settlement process in response to the settlement request of the divided usage fee transmitted from the mobile terminals 220 and 210.

For example, as the divided usage fee, the amount obtained by dividing the usage fee by the total number of users and group members is calculated. As a result, it is easy to settle the split between the users who use the parking lot 15 as a group, so that high convenience is exhibited.

For example, when the parking lot user is a family of multiple people, etc., in order to combine the discount service corresponding to shopping etc. at the store etc. affiliated with the parking lot used for each individual user, it is issued by shopping etc. It is conceivable to bring the received receipt and receive a discount process at the service counter, or to receive a service ticket issued for each store, but this method is extremely complicated.

In this parking lot management system, discount services are collectively granted even when each user makes a purchase or the like at a different store or the like among groups composed of a plurality of users. As a result, it has become possible to realize a very convenient parking lot management system that makes effective use of the fact that the current family members have multiple mobile terminals individually.
